***Could this be a dark horse for the next #1 on iTunes!? :P<br><br>Unfortunately "Walking On Air" went to #1 instead, even though I find that song a lot better I'm disappointed :(<br><br>Anyway to the song itself. I like the chorus but the rest of Katy's parts are meh. The rest is just not good at all. The production is annoying and that baby at the start is just stupid. Juicy J's verse is pointless and adds nothing good whatsoever and brings down the song a lot. It sounds like it was added in just for the sake of it which pisses me off. The song is also a massive fail because Katy is completely unthreatening to me and it just makes this song laughable. I'm so tired of it now and just wish it would just go away. Iggy Azalea did this type of song so much better with "Black Widow". Overpraised shite.<br><br>Edit: Oh wow that review was harsh :O I like it more now that I haven't heard it in ages. Some of above still applies but it's not too bad. Also it being denied from ever charting on ARIA is the most ridiculous thing ever and is still incredibly annoying to me. Regardless of my opinion of the song.Last edited: 10.12.2015 10:30

***I really did not expect this from Katy Perry. I has the potential to be annoying at times, but I have a soft spot for the beat. 'Roar' is better though. The video is crazy!<br><br>Thanks 392! :PLast edited: 06.03.2014 12:40

**Alright song, better than "Roar" at least.<br><br>Don't care for this Juicy J fella and his ridiculous rapping, but at least the song is sort-of interesting. 3.25*.<br><br>EDIT: With each listen, I come to realise how bad this is.<br><br>It's mostly due to the atrocious lyrics, which are sheer nonsense and stupidity.<br><br>In retrospect, I'm very happy this didn't chart, because it would have been a blight on the charts. I like to think that ARIA denied it charting because they had their marbles in place and noticed they couldn't let something so bad on the charts. I know this isn't the reason, but hey, let me have this one.<br><br>3.25* -> 2*.Last edited: 07.05.2014 16:23

******I don't like it as much as Roar but then I think it's most like E.T. for me and that grew on me very slowly so I'm hoping the same thing happens with this one. For now it's just average and it lacks a real punchy chorus like we're used to from Katy.<br><br>EDIT: I love it now. That bass is really good and the chorus grew on me. Just stuff Juicy J like honestly.<br><br>29 weeks and counting in the Digital Top 40, 0 weeks in the ARIA Hot 100. I hope this prompts ARIA to change their chart rules, because that's just ridiculous. Also if 392's run below happened to be it's ARIA chart run, it would be in the top 100 of all time according to this website! Grr even more!Last edited: 06.04.2014 10:23

*oh my god<br><br>the lyrics...<br>the voice....<br>the juicy j feature.....<br><br>everything about this makes me CRINGE... this is probably the worst song she has ever recorded, which is a pretty impressive achievement due to her atrocious discography.

****Katy Perry has the most frustratingly calculated career trajectory I've ever witnessed, which is part of why I don't like her; supporting her is like supporting Collingwood. Which is why I'm glad for this curveball existing. Maybe it really is a calculated move, but it really doesn't feel like it. That despite extensive promotion [s]and payola[/s], "Unconditionally" couldn't manage to go top 10 in basically all the noteworthy markets, while this sells relatively better given circumstances, is a major win for the public.<br><br>As for the song, it's not quite the daring direction that it's made out to be; it's rather bog standard for what it's doing. That being said I'm kind of fascinated hearing a Katy Perry song with such an atypical arrangement; the chorus peaks on an instrumental break! It ends a bit soon too, and Juicy J's verse is sadly unmemorable. Still, it's a start, so hopefully this leads somewhere (I'm sure the record execs are taking note of the reception). 3.8

**I severely disliked E.T. with a passion, and this seems to go down that track a little bit. It's void of any enjoyable hook, and even the rap verse is just whatever. Sure this is far more avoidable than 'Roar', but this is just dire. 1.75Last edited: 12.01.2014 09:08

******Okay, I'm turning into Katy Perry fan ATM and that doesn't makes me happy TBH lol. But seriously, this song is the s*it! I can only imagine how the video for this will look like. GaGa could take same notes. This is how you deliver a POP song. Hands down Miss Perry!<br>Oh, and congratulations on yet another #1 in USA

******There's no way of me getting away from this song at this point in time! I'm obsessed. I'm in that really delirious state where you love a song that much, that you can't really understand anyone else's negative comments regarding the song. I love the Hip-Hop/Trap vibe the song has taken on and the beat is killer and forgive me for saying this but the "baby wailing" sound heard throughout the record is reminiscent of "Are You That Somebody?" by Aaliyah (1998). I know the lyrics are dumb and ridiculous when you consider how neither this song nor Katy Perry are a dark horse(s), but when a song is good, a song's good and I have to give credit where credit is due.

****The trap-based beat is right up my alley and the verses and rap are well suited. I'm still not as sure on the chorus because I think it works against the more delicate and mysterious vibe the rest of the song goes for in favour of a pop-friendly hook and would prefer the post-chorus breakdown to have been used as the hook instead, but I've grown to enjoy it for what it is. It's also very refreshing to hear a less safe release from Katy Perry and I'd be happy to have more in this vein. 4.5*<br><br>ARIA Digital Tracks run: 37-6-5-11-9-8-8-10-6-7-12-11-14-14-14-14-17-24-32-24-27-31-34-22-13-12-18-21-29-32-33-42-48-(R)50-out<br>Or as an image: http://i.imgur.com/56whI2Y.png (yw Trav :P)Last edited: 09.09.2014 13:09

******Well who would've thought, a Katy Perry track i absolutely love without embarrassment or any hidden shame.<br>This track just does something the classics do to me and all because it's so easily recognizable and different.<br>Added to that (and you may call my crazy!) there's the 'It's in the palm of your hand now, baby' part, omg it's so sexual to me it's not funny.<br><br>Finally Katy delivers, bravo Katy.<br><br>Topped my personal chart for 4 weeks.

******LOVE LOVE LOVE. Fantastic song. I'm so happy this was released as a single and went to #1 in the US. Such a pity that due to ARIA's restrictions this didn't attempt to replicate its success in the US. Last edited: 25.07.2014 17:37

******I can't even front with this one, it had me from the opening note. There is just something so dynamic about the verses and the breakdown that gets me every time. This was a big moment in the context of Katy's catalogue and it's easily the best track she has to her name along with Teenage Dream. Still such a bop.
